"As I stood in the middle of the crowd of nearly two thousand people who had gathered in the park that day, the enormity of all the lives that had been lost to suicide in my community floored me." #OutOfTheDarkness

2017 was a tough year for me. My heart had been broken. I was plagued by a medical issue throughout a good portion of the year. The new job I thought was going to be lucrative wasn’t.

Everyone has "that person"--the one who keeps you going. Tag the friend, family member, or teammate who reminds you that hope is real, and ask them to follow us. Together we can build a community where no one Walks alone. #OutOfTheDarkness

Suicide risk emerges from a mix of inherited traits and life experiences. One way researchers untangle this puzzle is through studies that separate the influence of genetics by comparing identical and fraternal twins. #OutOfTheDarkness #Science2StopSuicide

Research shows that the way suicide is reported in the media matters, not just for public understanding, but for public health. Certain coverage can do harm, but when done correctly, media can play a protective role. #OutOfTheDarkness #Science2StopSuicide

Media reporting about suicide can have an impact on suicide rates. Stories emphasizing death and hopelessness can lead to more suicides while stories of resilience and hope can have a positive effect.
